Steris A1562 Replacement Chemical Sterilant Prefilter (Filter B)

The Steris A1562 is a critical high-precision filtration component designed for the STERIS System 1 / 1E and compatible endoscope reprocessing systems. Serving as the "Filter B" or secondary polishing stage, this 10-inch cartridge features a specialized 0.1-micron filtration rating. It is engineered to remove the finest suspended debris and precipitants that have bypassed the initial "A" prefilter, ensuring that the liquid chemical sterilant and rinse water entering the processing chamber are of the highest possible purity.

Maintaining a fresh A1562 cartridge is vital for the protection of the system's internal fluidics, including high-precision pump heads and sterilant injector nozzles. By ensuring a low particulate load, the A1562 prevents performance drift and "Low Flow" errors, supporting a consistent and validated reprocessing environment for delicate flexible endoscopes and surgical instruments.
